I don't understand why they didn't do the same as Volvo and SAAB have been doing for years, on my 740 tail lamps are on the same times as side lights and dim/dip headlights.
Volvo & Saab probably copied Swedish law from 1977 even on export models, the law here said lights at the front and rear.

Then in 2011 along came our dear friends in Brussels and introduced a new European wide directive with no mention of lights to the rear of the vehicle, which even Sweden had to adopt.
